9 (Highly Subjective) Skills That Every Man Should Master
There is something inherently valuable about performing tasks for others with excellence, embracing new learning opportunities, and demonstrating your care for those around you through both actions and words. This brief compilation encapsulates elements that I personally consider immensely enriching in my life.
How I Slow Down and Recharge During the Day
I bet many of you guys out there can relate - we are going constantly racing through the weeks; full-time job, parenthood, friends, a loving family, exercise, you need a good 7-8 hours of sleep – all things that we wish to make time for – but there is still only 24 hours a day and 7 days per week.
Music and Driving: a Match Made for Finding My Happy Place
es, I quietly listen to my choice of music, and other times, I share it with my surroundings, even with the windows closed.
Live Your Real Life – Not a Reel Life
Allow yourself, do the little things for yourself, incorporate them in your choices, pour that drink on a Wednesday if you want to, wear that blazer on a Tuesday, and make an effort to look your best so “dressing” isn’t just for the parties and weekends. It is the little things in life, stop and smell the roses, enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine!

“Fuck’em if they can’t take a joke”
This is probably one of the most famous caseback engravings out there, found on the back of a Cartier Tank gifted from film director John Landis to producer George Folsey Jr.! Or how about “Drive Carefully. Me” on the back of Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona ref. 6239. Both watch models are not unique per se – however, the engravings on the back make specific watches one of a kind and irreplaceable.
A Dad’s Morning Routine
Like most people today, I don’t have bundles of time. It is hard to balance life, work, a commute, and the hobbies I hold dear. I was struggling. So by New Year, I knew a change had to occur. Since then, I have made a whole lot of differences to my routine which have helped.
The Little Man With the Mustache
Many of us know him – It might sound crazy, but I can say that he lives in the vast majority of Italian homes - L’omino coi Baffi – “The little man with the mustache”. He is the little guy that helps us kickstart our aging corpuses in the morning. He is synonymous with the iconic Moka pot – probably the most iconic coffee brewer in the world.
